Great meal at PassionFish. The Peruvian ceviche is excellent as were the oysters. The peanut encrusted Halibut was delicious. The service was very good and the dining area was not loud. Definitely will eat here again soon!

As always service was excellent. Arugula salad very tasty. My lobster ravioli was very good but a bit rich for me. I should have chosen something else, but that is on me and not because the dish wasn't very good. Wife had the Festa di Mare. They did offer the Cleopatra but that is a lot of food (we have had before and will have again - but not tonight). Also excellent. Finished off with Tiramisu which is one of the best if not the best around.

Our tasting experience was fair but our meal and service with Sam was outstanding. He was very friendly and attentive and made us feel like it mattered that we were at Cooper’s Hawk for our meal. Food, service, wine was awesome!
